Hundreds roam these halls.
I am one in them.
A clearing opens up.
No one walks by me.
A circle of people stare,
They arent looking.
Their eyes glued to me.
I don't exist to them.
I am drowning.
I start to swim to the surface.
Lead books fall in and drag me back down.
I am at the bottom.
No way back up.
Everyone swimming around so gracefully,
Not seeing me dying at the bottom.
They can breathe,
My lungs collapse.
I am bleeding.
No longer does blood run through me
as people run through these halls.
Empty.
I am alone.
The books dissappear.
I swim to the surface.
And realise:

I am late for class!

That, my friends, was how my first day as a Freshman went. I was so mortified!

Today really did go so much better. It is regular school to me now. I don't have but like two classes with close friends. I still get a tad lost though, I know what general direction to go in but, I couldn't give an exact layout of the school.
